The map view helps to situate yourself in the world! You can click and drag the map to show different areas than the one you are searching for, and can use the top search bar to look for specific destinations on the map.
To zoom in and out on the map, click on the (+) or (-) icons in the top right corner. If you click on the "Places to Stay" or "Things to Do" buttons under the search bar, the respective Explore page will open up with the current map location pre-filled in for you to begin your search.
The Routes button in the top right will let you temporarily plan out a route on the map, complete with estimated times between each location. You can input the places you want to include and select the method of transportation between them. As of right now, you can only choose one type of transportation for the whole route, it is not yet possible to choose different modes for each leg.
When you search and select an item on the map, you will then be able to click the Add to Trip button and choose which section of your itinerary you'd like to add the location to.
Once added, you can select the dropdown arrow next to the location name to select the pin colour and icon type to help personalize and organize your map!
